DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Signs you need bath resealing in Carbis Bay
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Carbis Bay
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carbis Bay
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
